"Maryland House Majority Leader David Moon (D-Montgomery) has proposed a “digital unmasking” law to identify these agents another way: requiring Maryland law enforcement to proactively investigate and collect identifying information on every masked federal immigration agent conducting an operation within the state’s borders. “I’ve wondered if something bad happens, will there be any for accountability for people?” Moon said. “This is a way to reassure the public that Maryland is doing something to keep the avenues open for the rule of law and redress.” The digital profiles of masked ICE agents would be not be public, but in a state law enforcement database that could be used to identify a federal agent “credibly accused” of criminal violence or unconstitutional acts, he said. Boafo said that even if his bill barring future state employment of ICE agents doesn’t pass, the debate has value because it “gives room for hope for folks that we’re doing all we can, as a state to fight ICE.”"
